It was a usual day in the Yorozuya, Gintoki and Kagura were sprawled out on the sofas while Shinpachi was cleaning. Arguments had occurred upon Shinpachi's arrival, which mostly involved Shinpachi complaining that he was the only one who was actually doing any work to which Kagura and Gintoki would make ridiculous excuses and call him a 'megane', much to his dismay.

Soon came a knock on the door and as usual Gintoki told Shinpachi to answer it. Muttering on his way, Shinpachi headed to the door, agitated by his boss. Putting on a fake smile, he slid the door open.

"Welcome to Yorozuya Gin-chan! What do you nee-," He began, but he cut himself off on realising who was at the door. His fake smile turned genuine. "Ah, Aneue! Welcome, come in."

"Thanks, Shin-chan," said Shimura Tae, entering the shop. "How is work going today? Is Gintoki treating you well?"

"Ah, yes, of course," Shinpachi lied, still smiling. His sister rarely ever visited him at work so he was surprised by her sudden appearance, perhaps she was looking for more screen time. "What brings you here, Aneue?"

"I just came for a visit," the brunette replied, walking into the main room with Shinpachi following behind her. "Besides, I haven't seen Kagura-chan in a while."

Hearing her name, Kagura looked up and saw Otae. "Anego!" Kagura yelled, jumping up and hugging the older woman, only to realise that the woman was holding a box. "What is that?"

"Ah, Kagura-chan," Otae replied, smiling at the girl, who had recently turned 18. "I thought I'd come to see you. I haven't seen you since your birthday, so I decided to bring you something as well! How are you enjoying adult life?"

"It is about the same as usual, yes?" Kagura answered, putting a finger up her nose. "Nothing has changed really, uh-huh!"

"I'll say," Shinpachi mumbled, getting back to cleaning.

"What was that, useless megane?" The redhead yelled.

"I was agreeing with you!" He retorted, and the truth was that he whole-heartedly agreed with her statement. It had been four entire years and none of the Yorozuya members had changed at all… except for their looks anyway. Kagura's appearance had certainly matured, she was taller, her hair was longer and she had grown breasts, which pleased her greatly at first, but after a while she decided they just got in the way. Her personality, however, was still as incredibly childish and sadistic as it was four years ago. Shinpachi had changed in appearance too; he had gotten a new pair of glasses, which confused the other two members of the Yorozuya for months as they just assumed the new glasses were Shinpachi's replacement. His face had matured too and he had gotten older, but the others hadn't seemed to notice really. Gintoki, as per usual, hadn't changed a bit.

Kagura glanced at the box again with her face lit up. 18 years old and she still couldn't contain her excitement over receiving a present. "Can I open it?"

"Of course," Otae replied, smiling. She handed the box over to Kagura, whom sat down on the chair and opened it, a huge grin on her face. That grin, however, soon disappeared and was replaced by a grimace as she saw the contents of the box.

Otae's specialty, dark matter… Err, fried eggs.

"Oh, oh…" Kagura began, unsure what to say. Otae, the one woman she most respected and refused to upset, was watching her, a kind smile on her face. "I, uh, just had lunch."

"Kagura-chan, usually you have lots of room to spare. I thought you liked food?" Otae said, feeling a little concerned. "This isn't a dieting thing, is it? Kagura-chan, you're beautiful the way you are now!"

"Eh- It's not a dieting thing, uh-huh!" Kagura retorted.

"I bet it's to make that Soichirou-kun like her," Gintoki said, without looking up. "They hang out at the park every day."

"Oh, Kagura-chan, you shouldn't stop eating to make a boy to like you," Shinpachi said worriedly. "I'm sure Okita-san likes you the way you are."

"Oi, idiots, I do not like the Sadist, uh-huh! He's a dumb brat, yes? Tch, why would I stop eating for him?" She yelled, and to prove a point, she ate all of the dark matter that Otae had made for her. "See, I do not care abou-"

Kagura's body hit the floor, she had passed out.

Not long after she had been knocked out, Kagura's eyes fluttered open and she realised she was laid down on a sofa. She glanced around at the unfamiliar room, her brow furrowing in confusion. Where was she? Who was she?

"Kagura-chan's awake!" Someone called out. Kagura looked and saw that it was a young man with glasses who had said it. She realised that she must be this 'Kagura-chan' then. Two other people ran to her, a man with silver, curly hair and a pretty woman with brown hair. Who are these people? Why can't I remember them? The man with silver hair stared at her, a troubled expression on his face. He then spoke.

"Kagura?" He mumbled, touching her forehead. "Are you okay?"

Kagura recoiled at his touch, uncomfortable with the strangers. "W-who are you?" She asked, looking panicked. "Have I been kidnapped? Someone, HEALTH ME! HEALTH ME!"

"Oi, Kagura, don't tease old Gin-san," The silver haired one, whose name she now knew, muttered. "What do you mean 'who are you?' I'm your beloved boss, Gintoki!"

"I do not know you, uh-huh!" Kagura said, kicking the man, causing him to flinch and move away from her. She got up and stared at the strangers. "I do not know any of you, but I also do not know who I am. Tell me who I am and then I will take my leave."

"Kagura-chan, what are you talking about? It's us," the glasses-wearing boy said.

"I do not know who 'us' is and I wasn't asking you, you weird megane!" Kagura said to the mystery boy.

"Kagura-chan," the brunette woman said, causing Kagura to face her. "Sit down and let us explain who you are."

The trio spoke all through the day and night, explaining Kagura's life to her and jogging her memory until she remembered most things. As Otae left in the morning, she suggested Kagura take a walk and try to refresh her memory further, which Kagura decided would probably be a good idea. She told Gintoki and Shinpachi that she was heading out and the two wished her luck in remembering everything.

"Hey, Gin-san," Shinpachi said after she left.

"What is it, Pattsuan?"

"We forgot to tell her about Okita-san…"

Author's Note ~ Thanks for reading - please review if you can! It'd be a great help!

I know there's no Okita in this, but he's coming in in the next chapter so look out for it.

I'm continuing my other fic, 'A Mission Between Rivals' soon. I just wanted to write this one as well, heh heh.
